COOLIE LABOR FLOCKING HERE. | Thousands of Japanese and Chinese En Route From the Orient. Some of the Japanese immigrants who came here on thé Nippon Maru from Yo- | kohama will not land. That is certain. Twenty-one of the coolies were found to be suffering from loathsome and conta- glous diseases by Quarantine Officer Kin- youn and he so reported to United States Immigration Officer North. That officlal at once ordered the Japs deported, and the good it will do them, as Commissioner | North is determined to send the men back on the steamer that brought them here. There are six vessels due to arrive from Hongkong via_Yokohama during the next | four weeks. Giving them the same ratio | as the Nippon Maru, it means that they | will attempt to land at least 1500 Japs and | 2000 Chinese in San Francisco before the | month of May is out. > The Rio de Janeiro is due here on the 24th inst., and the Algoa Is scheduled to | arrive the following day. The latter ves- | sel {s a freight boat and may only bring | a few of the coolie lahorers. The Coptic will follow the Algoa on May 4, and the | America Maru on May 12. There are al- | ready over 400 Japs booked at Yokohama | for this latter vessel. In view of the | latest developments the chances are that | many of them will not come. | The City of Peking follows the America | Maru on May 19, and the Gaellc will ar rive May 20. Both these vessels will carry | from to 750 Asiatics, so an estimate of 3500 coolles due to arrive here during the next four weeks s a small one.

C., April 20.—It has been developed that the majority of the pen- packed mass of humanity, which is still huddled in the filth on the steamer Milos here, the customs officers refusing to en- ter the steamer, as she has no clearance from Kobe, has not sufficient boats, and is not large enough to carry as many pas- sengers as she brought, are to be smug- led across the border in the.vicinity of laine, where it is alleged there is a r:g- ular undergroun ra.\lwl{; Hundr cross the line here, it has been learned, every night or two, evading the customs guards. This information was learned by the United States Consular Office here as a re- sult of Inquiries occasioned by the fact of the, numbers daily leaving here. Evi- dence is fast accumulating that the rail- roads and corporations in the United States have agents in Japan operating through officials in that country to get pauper Japanese to come to this side. The agents ship to American ports all who can pass the necessary physical ex- amination, supplying each with the nec- essary $30 in cash, prominent shipping farmer class, and inducements are held out by them for yvoung men between 20| and 2 to come to America. They produce | letters from Japanese on this side telling of their prosperity, etc. He says that it is understood in Japan that a great num- | ber, anywhere from 250,000 to 800.000, will | be shipped across this vear if nothing is | done to stop the influx.
